Same situation - me and 27 students - no teacher, no aide. I use a timer. I set it at the beginning of class for the total time allowed for that class, minus 5 minutes for actual checkout. I don't check anyone out until the timer goes off, using that time to help students - and once the timer goes off I don't help anyone on the floor, I stand behind the counter and checkout. The one I bought has a four minute warning - so it goes off once 4 minutes before it goes off the final time, letting students know that if they haven't made their selection, they better be doing it! I think I bought it from either Highsmith or Demco.
